Galaxy Tab 2, 7 Inch Has Been Successfully Rooted!

This device has been talked about around staff and surely we are to give a couple out to developers in the coming weeks, but in the mean time we have some good news, you have root! Check the details out below and follow the thread link at the bottom to the OP and get the goods!

NYCBJR has given precise and delicate instructions along with a vibrant warning, as usual we accept no responsibility to possibly void your warranty, but this is why you are here right? Don’t forget to give him a thanks!

I have gained root through using a modified boot.img from the gt-p3110 leak posted a few weeks ago, took me all day but here it is.

Note I haven’t only tested this on my device, its 2am est and all my testers are asleep (that being termitech lol)..

So big fat warning, I MAKE NO GUARANTEES THIS WILL NOT BRICK YOUR TAB, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Now with that unpleasantness out of the way.. with out further ado. I present the very first root for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0!! Yay mom I’m a dev now!

The method will have you using hemidall/heimdall-frontend there is a way to put this all into an odin package but I’m too exhausted to do so (for now).. Also I will not re-hash how to install or use heimdall.. you can look that up on your own

Get it here: …..

Also, make sure to follow @nycbjr on Twitter since he is so kind enough to give this to everyone!

Take a trip over to the forums and checkout the goods! If you have any questions, he will be around to answer them and help out if needed, there is surely a custom recovery to ensue!
